Marlow family Photographer

Photographs that tell the story of your beautiful everyday life.

Family photo sessions held at home or outdoors.

For parents who want to capture what everyday life feels like,

the little moments of love and connection

you'll want to look back on.


My sessions are child-led, so whether your little ones are camera-shy or super energetic, they can set the pace.


Hi, I'm Emma.


I'm an award-winning family photographer based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

As a sentimental mum of two boys, I know how quickly the days fly by.


I want my photographs to help you to freeze time, to capture what it feels like when you're together.

"Our outdoor family session was so relaxed it felt like we were simply enjoying a walk with a friend, which allowed Emma to capture the most beautiful, natural photos”   





Studies by psychologists show that growing up in a home where they see themselves in photos, surrounded by their loved ones, helps to boost children's self-esteem.



It helps them learn who they are and how they fit into the family unit- it shows them that they are important, that they are loved and valued.

"Emma has such a gift for seeing you as you are and capturing the beauty in the everyday. The photos are full of real life, laughter, and those small, in-between expressions that say everything. We can’t recommend her enough, not just for the beautiful images, but for the way she puts you instantly at ease."

Let's make this fun!


I really believe that the more fun you have during the session, the more you'll enjoy looking back at the photographs later.

Photographs you're actually in, for a change.

I love my sessions to be filled with movement and laughter.


Let's plan a few hours of family time - you can focus on having fun together, and I'll take pictures that feel like you.


Don't worry if you- or your partner- don't like having your photograph taken... me too, I've got you.

"From the moment we met Emma, she made us feel completely at ease. She brought such a fun, relaxed energy to the shoot, making the whole experience enjoyable for the entire family”
